Reviews
<p>My compliments on the way the story was described, from the first to the last chapters. I was surprised by the loyalty of the main character. Despite being branded a turncoat to his fellow countrymen, he chose to stay honest and loyal to the embassy he served; this can rarely be found from a man of the so-called integrity nowadays. His persistence and dedication gave way to reach his dream even if he faced some obstacles along the way. His enviable rise and his tragic fall highlighted the impact of the scene. Suffering a disheartening defeat at his fight for justice, it paved his way to his faith that God is always there to lend him a helping hand.</p>
<p>The way I read it, this must be a non-fiction novel. <span style="line-height:1.6em;">A high-quality best-seller drama and adventure. - Thumbs up.</span></p>
